Company Mission;

To create simple, bold designs using sound aesthetic & practical principles, in order to maximise site potential, improve our built environment & achieve client satisfaction. Design Philosophy;

With experience comes an understanding of the need for simplicity of structure, which leads to a simplicity of form & the use of proven materials. Balance, proportion, scale & context are all carefully considered in design. Our style structures are designed to be non-competing with their environment, yet bold enough to distinguish them as being inspired by it.

Progress update from our May Street project.
Exciting to see this one coming together.

Episode 3 in our May Street project coming this week.

25/07/2026

We are incredibly honoured to be recognised at the 2026 Waikato/Bay of Plenty ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Awards, receiving the Commercial Interiors & Fitout Regional Award for our 063 Studio + Co Working project.

This project is especially meaningful to us. As both co-owner and designer, it represents a shared vision to create more than just a workplace, it was about designing an inspiring creative hub where collaboration, innovation, and small businesses can thrive together.

To now see 063 recognised by the industry, and named a National Finalist, is something we’re immensely proud of.

A sincere thank you to Architectural Designers New Zealand (ADNZ), the awards judges for this recognition. We’re grateful to everyone who has supported the journey and believed in the vision.

Congratulations to all of this year’s award recipients and finalists—we’re honoured to be alongside such exceptional designers.

May Street Project

Every project starts with an idea.
A sketch. A conversation. A vision.

18/06/2026

Designed as a collection of simple gabled forms, this contemporary home balances bold architectural expression with considered overscale, liveable spaces. Natural textures, refined detailing, and a restrained material palette create a timeless aesthetic that feels equally at home in this semi-rural landscape.

Beyond the main residence, the project includes a dedicated wellness studio, a swimming pool, and a secondary dwelling, creating a private lifestyle retreat designed for connection, relaxation, and multi-generational living.

We love how the interplay of stone, vertical cladding, steel roofing, and sheltered outdoor spaces delivers both sophistication and comfort.

A home designed not just for living, but for wellbeing.

Sunbrae Groove - The Pool

So wonderful to see this project with its final finishes completed. A testament to the collaboration of design team and clients driving visions. Proving smaller sites and spaces can deliver sophisticated properties.

Celebrating moments of texture and tone.

More imagery of this stunning home to come.

A new chapter is rising in Mt Maunganui…

Building Consent is officially inbound for our newest architecturally designed townhouse — a home shaped by its surroundings, engineered for its challenges, and crafted for true Mount lifestyle living.

But this one didn’t start easy...

A tight site.
Flood-zone and foundation constraints.
Hard up against neighbouring boundaries.
Big ambition.

Instead of compromising, we leaned in...

We engineered it to meet flood requirements without sacrificing form.
We designed right to the edges - yet created spaces that feel open, light-filled, and private.
We wrapped it in robust, low-maintenance materials made to handle salt air and long coastal summers.
We optimised every square metre for sun, flow, and effortless indoor-outdoor living.

The result?

What began as one of our most technically constrained projects has become one of the most exciting. Proof that pressure doesn’t limit great design - it sharpens it.

Picture this...

Early morning light spilling into the living space.
Coffee in hand before a quick walk to the beach.
Surfboards stacked in the garage.
Warm evenings with doors wide open, the sea breeze drifting through.
A home that works hard behind the scenes - so life feels easy out front.

This is Mt Maunganui living, designed with intent.

More updates coming soon...
